Ellie Favorites
Missouri Star Quilt Company is having their Birthday Bash this month with lots of great deals. This is the Ellie Favorite bundle that is only $5!
Adding Fabrics
I added some fabric from my stash and I had a beautiful pastel pink yardage that I thought would really add a pop of color.
Quilt Blocks
I ended up using one additional fat quarter plus the pink for my quilt blocks.
Midnight Glow
I am using my Midnight Glow quilt tutorial and I decided to make this quilt a little bigger. There are 20 quilt blocks in it.
I did some more shopping today at Missouri Star and bought several more of the 5 fat quarter bundles for $5. If you make charity quilts this is a fantastic deal! I also bought several of the 10 piece bundles including one that I already have so I’ll have plenty of fabric for a quilt.

Two Quilt Projects
Does anyone else work on more than one quilt project at a time?
Nox Table Runner
My quilty friend Vicki from Vicki’s Crafts and Quilting made this beautiful table runner using my Nox table runner tutorial. Of course once I saw it I knew what I wanted to make with the leftover 2½-inch squares from all of my Fall Gatherings quilt projects! One more table runner coming soon!
Ready to Quilt
I have this quilt ready to quilt on my domestic vintage 15-91 Singer. I love using it for small quilt projects.
Taping the Backing
I use painter’s tape to secure the backing to my table before adding the batting and top. Today I’ll be quilting it.

Love the Ellie the Elephant quilt!! I love the quick and easy things you show us!
That is the cutest fabric, Connie! I like the pastel look in that quilt pattern. Happy quilting!
Thanks Sheryl, I think it is a elegant look.
Love your tutorials !
I’m trying to make some Christmas hangings but not sure how to finish them so that they can actually be hung on the wall. Do I put little tabs at the top? Or do I put a little sleeve to insert a rod from the back so I can hang it?
Haven’t searched hard enough but I’m sure you’ll have a solution! Thank you.
Hi Wendy, both ways will work. I usually use pins on our wall s to hang something.
I bought the same fat quarter after seeing it on your blog! I have a new grandchild on the way so need to start planning on the baby quilt. Can’t wait to see your finished product!
Congrats and I’ll be sharing it soon!
